A table showing the total number of employees in 4 different colleges and the percentage of female employees and that of male employees.
Formula used:
A% of B = A / 100 × B
A is what percent of B = A / B × 100.
Calculation:
Number of females in colleges A and D = 35% of 700 + 55% of 800
⇒ 35 / 100 × 700 + 55 / 100 × 800
⇒ 245 + 440
⇒ 685
Number of males in colleges B and C = 70% of 550 + 60% of 600
⇒ 70 / 100 × 550 + 60 / 100 × 600
⇒ 385 + 360
⇒ 745
Number of females in colleges A and D is what percent of Number of males in colleges B and C = 685 / 745 × 100
≈ 91.95%
∴ The correct answer is 91.95%.
